1
Photosynthesis
2
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed All organisms need carbohydrates for energy conversion
3
What organelle is produces cellular energy?
4
Glucose C 6 H 12 O 6 is a carbohydrate Autotrophs are capable of making their own carbohydrates Heterotrophs are not capable of making their own carbohydrates and therefore must get them by some other means
5
Why do we have to eat to get energy?
6
What form is cellular energy in?
7
Carbohydrates are made in the chloroplast in a process called photosynthesis Plants and other photosynthetic organism are green because they contain the pigment chlorophyll
8
Light from the sun contains all the colors of the spectrum (rainbow). Chlorophyll absorbs all the colors except for green. The wavelength of light that is green is reflected. That is why we see plants as green
9
What carbohydrate do plants make?
10
We get energy from the sun. This energy is in the form of
11
Photosynthesis: Plants use the energy from sunlight to convert water (H 2 O) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into high-energy carbohydrates
12
Photosynthesis Equation: 6CO 2 + 6 H 2 O -> C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 Sunlight
13
Reactants (what goes in) Carbon dioxide Water
14
Products (when the reaction is done) Glucose Oxygen
